What IS “Crazy” is…

The prevalence of “Misguided Diversity Programs”

Roadblocks deterring successful inclusion…

1. Diversity Programs Lack Comprehensive Inclusion Initiatives ⇒

2. Disclosure is too risky for most ⇒

3. The ADA reinforces stigma and disability ⇒

4. Labels – inconsistency, generalization, and identity ⇒

5. Conflicting Campaigns Reinforce Stigma ⇒

6. “Unconscious Bias” needs to be addressed ⇒

7. Trainers Lack Expertise – One size does NOT fit all ⇒

8. Adults with Disorders may require Social Skill Remediation ⇒

9. Integration of psychologists is necessary to ensure discrete
“SUPPORTED” employment ⇒

10. Affordable Healthcare is NOT affordable for many ⇒

11. Discrimination is inherent in Supported Employment ⇒

12. The façade of Philanthropy – Driven by ROI and profit ⇒

 

Be Counted!  Illuminate Mental Diversity at Work.
There is safety (AND strength) in numbers. “All for one, and one for all.”
